White Rock Marathon & Half Marathon Clinics — 2012
Winter/Spring 2012 — Saturdays 7:00am, Mondays & Wednesdays 6:30pm
Most of you are well aware of the out-standing results consistently generated by our half-marathon and marathon running programs over the last several years. The key to our continued success has been change. When you consider most athletic programs, they talk about their "formula for success". Let's face it; if you do the same thing, you will get the same result. That's not what we're about. We know you love running and to quote a popular shoe company slogan, we want you to "love running more".
Why are we more successful than the other recreational running groups? First of all, we have a long-term running plan that extends about 7 years. There is no other recreational group in the world that can boast this kind of long-range planning. It is only occasionally found in high performance running clubs at an elite athletic ability. Why do we adopt this philosophy? You deserve the biggest bang for your buck and we have the personal knowledge, history, contacts and coaching goals to offer you far more than the competition. And most important of all, we really love running too.
We'd like to extend a personal invitation to join our new and improved Vancouver Half-Marathon & Marathon Clinic starting Saturday, January 14, 2012 and quite possibly have the best time of your life. Join us today!

How far should I be able to run before joining the half or full marathon program??
You should be comfortably running a 6 km – 10 km distance for the Half Marathon and 10 km – 15 km for the Full Marathon. Please enquire as to which of the 4 unique training programs fit you.
How much will it cost, how long is it, and where do we run from??
The cost of all the 16-week programs is $125 per person. Ask about our family discount and yearly membership. The cost includes the 7am Saturday morning group long run and Monday and Wednesday night workouts. During the clinic there will be a 10% discount on all store purchases and we will have special "FUN" evenings with extra discounts and freebies just for clinic members only! You will also receive a weekly and monthly training schedule and maps that will help guide you safely and injury free through the program. Guest speakers and coaches will also help to inform, inspire and improve your running.
This session we are going back to our endurance training roots and depending on the number of running days per week you have available, you will either be increasing your weekly average in total by 5–10 miles. Ask for more information in store! Please note the early start of the 204 Marathon Program on Saturday, Nov 29/2011 that is open to all yearly clinic members or via a $150 registration fee due to the extended 23-week training period. All workouts will start and finish at the White Rock store. Each scenic long run will be provided in advance via email as well as a map at the store for those wishing to simply drop in on Saturdays.
Coached by Taryn, Russ, Lorne and our bevy of awe-inspiring group leaders to help you have your greatest running experience ever!
